Mutabaahy went close at Ripon last week and is preferred to stablemate Lucky Lodge on that form. Decision Maker has won twice over the minimum trip here including his latest outing but previous attempts at today’s distance don’t inspire confidence while Kapono and Fairy Stories were both placed over 5f on their latest starts with the latter preferred having won at Nottingham before that. GLEEFUL is getting closer in handicaps and found only one too good at Goodwood a fortnight ago. She looks another on the card with strong claims for Roger Varian’s yard and gets the vote to open her account.
